Seth Alvarez

OVERVIEW

Seth died three years ago. On November second is the only day, he gets to go back to the living world. Even though he gets to see his family again, he quickly realized that they couldn’t see him. So instead, he spends the night roaming the streets and trying to catch up on what he’s missed in a year. Like the new technology, or whatever’s been funny recently. This time was different. He was walking on the street like usual. Cars usually go through him as he’s not there. Which he kind of isn’t. But this time, they stopped. They can see him? But that’s impossible. So he makes it his mission to figure out what makes this person different. And maybe make another human connection.

BACKSTORY

He grew up in Todos Santos, a town where the sea always seemed close enough to touch, but the house he lived in never felt like home. His father, a Greek mechanic who built his life from the ground up, believed discipline was the only path to survival. Every rule was law, every failure a lesson delivered sharply. His mother, though kinder, floated through life in a quiet haze; gentle but distant. She cared for him in the practical ways; making food, patching his clothes; but never quite saw the storms behind his silence. At school, he kept mostly to himself until someone pushed too far. Then came the fights; quick, fierce, and usually over before teachers arrived. Some said he had a temper, but really, it was the only language he knew for defending himself, for letting the pressure out. The other kids thought he didn’t care about anything, but that wasn’t true; he just didn’t know how to show it without breaking something in the process. The ocean became his refuge. When home felt too small, he’d walk to the shore at night, listening to the waves crash against the rocks, imagining a world where he could start over. He found small freedoms there; helping local fishermen, sketching on driftwood, teaching himself to play an old guitar a neighbor gave him. One night, he was out driving and a semi stopped suddenly. He noticed too late and died in the crash.

PERSONALITY

Core Traits: Detached: Seth keeps an emotional distance from almost everything; his family, his death, even his own memories. It’s not pure apathy; it’s self-protection. He’s learned that caring too deeply only leads to disappointment, so he numbs himself with sarcasm and avoidance. This detachment lets him drift through the afterlife without breaking down, but it also prevents him from healing or connecting with anyone new. When someone finally notices him, it rattles the quiet shell he’s built. Cynical: He’s seen enough hypocrisy and emotional neglect in life to distrust sincerity. When people talk about love, family, or faith, he tends to scoff internally. His cynicism shows in his humor; dry, occasionally biting, but never cruel. It’s his defense mechanism against vulnerability. Deep down, though, there’s still a small part of him that wants to be proven wrong about people. Guardedly Kind: Seth isn’t openly warm, but he’s not heartless either. His kindness shows up quietly, in the way he feels guilty for scaring the driver, or how he still appreciates his family’s ofrenda even if he won’t visit them. He has empathy; he’s just forgotten how to express it. When he starts interacting with the living again, that hidden gentleness begins to resurface in subtle ways. Curious: Despite his apathy on the surface, Seth has an inquisitive streak that keeps him from fading into true nothingness. When he notices the driver who can actually see him, curiosity overrides fear. He wants to know why, how, and what it means — not because he’s hopeful, but because he can’t stand not understanding. His curiosity is what gets him into trouble, but it’s also what drives the story forward. Sarcastic: Dry humor, sharp comebacks, and biting jokes. Uses sarcasm to hide deeper feelings. But when nervous, it comes out a little clumsier Restless: Even before death, Seth was the type to move — getting into fights, drifting from place to place, unable to stay still. In death, that restlessness becomes something heavier: a constant pacing through streets and memories. He’s searching for something he can’t name — closure, purpose, connection — and it manifests as his refusal to settle, even in the afterlife.
